Redding is a friendly, affordable regional hub for travel therapists who love the outdoors—home to the Sundial Bridge, Whiskeytown and Shasta Lake, plus easy river rafting, hiking and a compact but lively downtown with breweries and coffee shops—ideal for multi‑week stays where days off turn into real adventures.
Within about 75 miles you can reach Chico for a bigger college‑town scene of restaurants, live music and nightlife, or Mount Shasta for alpine hiking, skiing and dramatic scenery.
